The ink for food packaging appears "migration" phenomenon. How can consumers tell the packaging safety?

Ink directly determines the tone, color and clarity of the image on the printed matter, so ink plays an important role in printing. At present, more than 95% of plastic flexible packaging is printed by gravure printing. Our common printing ink is generally made of chlorinated polymers. In the process of production and use, aromatic solvents such as toluene are needed to dissolve and adjust the viscosity of the ink. Therefore, in the process of production and printing, a large number of harmful gases will be volatilized, which will destroy the ozone layer of the atmosphere an

Analysis of Types and Advantages of Water Based Ink

The fundamental difference between the typical water based ink and the traditional solvent based ink is that water (or water and very little cosolvent-alcohol substance) is used to replace the organic solvent in the solvent based ink to prepare the water based binder, which is compounded with the pigment (pigment or dye), that is, the specific auxiliary agent, to make the printing ink. Among these two kinds of common inks, the production and application of acrylic ink have obvious advantages, and the basic comparison between acrylic ink and polyurethane is shown in the table
